Installing Windows 95 on A chromebook with MS DOS box

[HamTheEpicRuler]

So chrome has a full MS DOS box that is emulated really well actually. I was wondering if I could get windows 95 running with it. Well I assume I can as I saw a kid who had it running using MS DOS on the same chromebook as me. Thanks!

Well...
It's possible. It will run and I can provide instructions if needed. The speed it will run at depends if you have a x86 Intel Chromebook or an ARM Chromebook. Windows was meant to run on x86 only. Can I just also make clear that running Windows 95 in DosBox will be slow anyway, almost to the point of being unusable. It also will not work with any modern software or websites.
If you want to use Windows as a real OS, try looking for a legacy BIOS you can flash - https://www.reddit.com/r/chromeos/comments/3gnema/tutorial_install_windows_10_on_the_acer_c720/ as an example of what can be done.
If you want to use it for legacy gaming, go ahead, but bear in mind it could be very slow. These instructions will work on a Chromebook - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hvgFvAYjPG93h-Avun3sprvZX2GfkRhl4YJBT15FTx0/edit

Theoretically it is possibble but... There is no drivers fot win95 for the hardware that is into your chromebook... Good luck anyway. I love to see things marked as "impossible" being made
